    GlossaryLineage Tracing

    scientific method tracking cell development and differentiation over time

    Lineage tracing is a scientific technique used to track the development and fate of specific cells over time. By marking a group of cells with a unique identifier, researchers can observe how these cells divide, differentiate, and contribute to the formation of tissues and organs. This method is particularly useful in understanding how stem cells function and how diseases like cancer progress.
